Food Waste charity Wrap wants to scrap the use-by date label on the side of products and encourages using the ‘sniff test’ instead. It says the labels are used on products that don’t need them and that more than 100 million pints of milk are wasted each year in the UK. However, Dr Amanda Squire, spokesperson for The British Dietetics Association, disagrees. She told 5 live’s Tony Livesey that the ‘sniff test’ is not always reliable: “There’s a lot of bacteria that grows in food that we can’t smell. It’s important that we stick to using the use-by date.” This clip is originally from 5 live Drive on 27 February 2017.
